Anchorman 2 screen captureRon Burgundy is showing up everywhere in anticipation of Anchorman 2’s December 18 release. Last weekend, Will Ferrell’s Anchorman 2 character visited the news desk of a local newscast in Bismarck, North Dakota, and on Monday night he made an appearance in Winnipeg to cover Roar of the Rings, Canada’s biggest curling event of the season.
